Cthulhu Tablet, Take Two

In a stunning example of synchronicity, I stumbled across this take on a Mythos-touched clay tablet just after finding yesterday's entry. I love being able to compare different takes on the same subject. GladeFlower's tablet is far more ornate, but I rather like the clean presentation of Tailiana's from yesterday.

  2. I'm always a sucker for cuneiform Cthonian tablets. My Sumerian is a bit rusty, but my translation reads, “Twenty centuries of squamous slumber / were vexed to nightmare by a digging shovel /what rough beast, the stars come round at last / slouches toward Saranath to be reborn?” It’s either that or a recipe for octopus soup.

  5. Relic from pirates of the Carribian. Looks like Davie Jones. Maybe it's the lid of his locker...

  6. CoastaConFan - you claim to be able to read Sumerian Cuneiforum. Would you care to elaborate? I assume you are reading the inscription on the circle? Would you be willing to provide a syllabic transcription?

  9. It looks like the alien from independence day the first one. I don't think it should be read they might hear us.🚀

  11. The circle inscription says: "Fresh Persian Octopus from Kuwait bay-- 1 shekel of silver per kg " Like 10 bucks today? This was a fish market tag I imagine :-)
